What is Love Alarm about?

An app called Love Alarm chimes whenever someone within ten metres has feelings for you — no names, just a number on a screen. For Kim Jo-jo, orphaned and living on her aunt’s grudging charity, it turns adolescence into a public scoreboard she never asked to be graded on. Two very different boys set her alarm off, she can only answer one, and by the time the second season picks up years later the app has hardened into infrastructure nobody can opt out of.

Celluloid verdict: A killer premise the show never quite works out what to do with — the first season’s melancholy is real, but the long-delayed second run drifts and the triangle outlives its own tension. The cast is led by Kim So-hyun, Song Kang, Jung Ga-ram, Go Min-si.

How many seasons of Love Alarm are there, and where do I start?
